I loved listening to Paul Harvey. I was at a buddies house last night and he played this and all his family and a couple other buddies listened to this in silence yesterday. It ended up freaking out his brothers wife and she called it a night and my high school buddy who is not religious has been showing interest in religion lately. Probably because I babble to him like a do here. (Praise God!)

The biggest problem that God may have is this.
Why is He hiding from His children?
If I were God, I wouldn't hide from my creation, my children. I don't hide from my own kids now! Why would I? If we who are as common as the dust on the ground know how to show our children we love them, then how is it that God seems to stay hidden from us?
I follow the Christ and have to admit that sometimes it can be difficult to have faith when all that you have to show for it is faith. People have been waiting now for over two thousand years.
I have a friend that professes Christ. He gets overjoyed whenever some terrible earthquake or the like happens and people are killed. He says this is just another "sign" of the return of Jesus. When there are wars and rumors of wars, famines, floods, pestilence, etc., he is thrilled because that means Jesus is "just around the corner".
I tell him he's out of his mind.
Which of us can add a single day to our lives by worrying about what's coming, about what the future holds? No one can. What we do instead with this constant worrying is take away from our lives. From living. Death comes for all of us. In the meantime, life goes on all around us and yet some of us refuse to participate because we are too afraid of what "might" happen. Well, one thing that could happen is you just might find the reason for your faith in God. "Hidden" right out in the open air of living.
Don't hide.
maybe he's not, maybe we just fail to notice him.

You lost me after having a problem with God. ::)

Great one, listen to it every now and then... charismatic and clever.

Then you need to read it all. The truth is that we all question ourselves and our faith (or lack of) and in doing so, we question God. There is no crime in that. It's when we fail to question the world around us that we sometimes fall prey to the schemes of others. Mohammed comes to mind. So does Joseph Smith. Jim Jones ring a bell?
Each of these worthless men demanded blind faith and threatened holy damnation if their chattel failed to deliver. How dare you question them for in doing so, you question "God". Right.
Any one of us that claims to have total faith in their "faith" (including a belief in "nothing") is lying. We hope. We (some of us) pray. We agonize and theorize but in the end we doubt and all because we have not seen. Nothing wrong with being a doubting Thomas. After over two thousand years it's kinda hard not to have some doubt.
It's only human. But so is hope. And faith is nothing if not hope.
You're wrong. Faith is not hope. Faith is faith and hope is hope. Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Hope is to want something to happen or be true and think that it could happen or be true.
There is absolutely ZERO doubt in my mind that God exists and the Christ existed and the Bible is true. I don't hope this things are true, I know they are. That's faith.
The Bible is very clear. Satan and his angels run this planet until the second coming. That answers many people's questions.
Finally, The Bible tells me all the reasons the world is the way it is. It's been very accurate.

If I were the devil I would disguise myself as GOD and get billions to worship me. OH WAIT !!!
-
Yes, but you're not. And if we are to believe the Book of Revelations that is exactly what will occur. Whether or not it occurs in our lifetime, who knows? I prefer to not worry about it as I can neither start nor stop it.
If you choose not to believe in the Word, that is your right and I have no real problem with Atheists as one of my best friends was one.
Well, the book of revelations was right, the majority of worshippers are evil sadists who are completely unaware that they are. My post was suggesting that this is already the current situation, that the Devil is really what most people call GOD, and blindy worshipping it is slowly killing humanity and the planet.
-
Wiggs do you even go to church?
-
Hope is what faith is all about. You cannot see that which you have faith in, but you can hope to. One day. You are young in your faith and as such very zealous. That is fine. Be well.
No it's not. I just defined both for you. They're distinctly different. Perhaps this is how you see it. If that's the case, you don't have true Faith. When it comes faith, I don't hope anything. I know it will happen. Perhaps one day you'll have true faith. You have no idea how old I am in my faith. I was raised on this.

God doesn't make excuses because He doesn't owe you any explanations.

Out of the three names you listed, Jim Jones is the only one I would consider evil. And he was probably just mentally ill.

That quote reminds me of an excerpt from a book about Poland. It asked who'd they rather live under, German or Russian rule.

E-Kul, that is but one reason I am not trying to make you wear the same shoes as I. I don't even care if you wear shoes. Would it be nice if you believed as I do? Yes but a faith forced upon another is not a faith but a farce.
Hopefully I do not come across as such. My faith is my own and I share it openly. I don't always live it and that is my shame, not yours. Regardless, be well.
I wouldn't mind religion or faith so much except for the evangelical obligation it forces upon believers. It has also infiltrated society, education, politics etc, and not for the better.
-
Great video. I have bad news for all: It is only going to get (very) bad before it gets good again.
-
I like Paul Harvey but I don't understand the hate towards non believers, if you are a good person and do good things but don't believe in God, why would you go to hell with rapists and murderers? What you Wiggs? ???
-

Quite agree with you. Faith = hope for unrealistic retards.

We can see that already: a resurgence of religious extremism. Fortunately to be followed by the only sane path, atheism.
-
Good find Wiggs. Truly prophetic.
I wonder when you atheist type peeps hear this, do you simply consider his being correct coincidence? I know a true liberal doesn't believe evil exist... and when they can't deny it... then blame anything but evil (even victims).
But what do you say is the cause of what is going on in the world today if evil is not real... Religion? Morality? Government not having enough control? Wealth disparity?
Please enlighten us with your wisdom. I am sure it will be on par with Harvey.

lol. America is the richest country on the planet, no other country has it better, and yet some religious whackjob produces a 4 minute clip on nothing suggesting that the Country has been over-run by the devil and the religious moronic masses lap it up.
If the devil existed, he wouldn't allow the majority of the nation to live in comfort and ease as you do, he wouldn't allow religious whackjobs to make youtube videos exposing him, he would make your life HELL. And if you think your comfortable, McDonalds eating, pot smoking lives are tough,then you don't deserve to be a Western citizen. Get over yourselves.

I so love Internet arguments on faith with atheists. We should just agree that we don't speak each other's language and agree to disagree as we are not going to convince each other. Sure, you'll feel great tossing out one-liners mocking my faith, and who am I to stop you from feeling good about yourself and your choices?

I actually consider myself an agnostic, or even more preferable, I am simply an advocate for logical and reasonable thinking who challenges preposterous and nonsense claims anywhere I hear or read them.

God does exist; He just doesn't owe you any explanations.

I never said he did, it sounds to me YOU have no satisfactory explanation for why a ALL LOVING God would be indifferent to humanities suffering. Religious people say that God is all loving, all good. Yet he allows atrocities to occur, innocents to suffer and die and he looks on and does nothing about it. So either the GOD you nutters worship isn't as powerful as is suggested, and he can't prevent evil from occurring, in which case he is impotent, or he can do something but chooses not too, in which case he is evil or the most likely scenario, their simply is NO ALL LOVING omnipotent GOD and that explains why humans can inflict so much suffering on one another without the need for either GOD or the DEVIL.
Forget a non existent deities explanation for such devastation, how about you offer up your explanation for God's failures.
-

If he does, he is an evil guy that doesn't deserve any worship. A person with a conscience would never worship a psycopath.

Although I disagree with Farrakhan on some stuff religiously. He does know and acknowledge we are the Hebrew Israelites of the Bible. He does know and acknowledge, the NWO, Fema Camps, who the Jews really are (Edomites/Ideumeans/Khazars). He's also very in tuned politically. He's a brilliant man.

I care because it affects the world so negatively. Crusades, protection of peddos, taking away rights for people, celebration of anti-intellectionism, celebration of anti-science, politicians that make political decisions influenced by the bible etc. I can go on all day about how religion poisons everything for everyone.
Why do you refuse to answer? You are like wigs and coach, as soon as your crackhead ideas get questioned you plead the fifth. For the fourth time, why do you worship an immoral ass that loves rape, peddos, genocide, torture etc.?

Epic projection. You do realise that is what you are doing? You do realise it is the God botherers who suggest GOD is all knowing, nothing to do with me. I don't believe in GOD, there is NO evidence for GOD, so the only people who can try and confine God's nature into their own limited minds are the God Botherers.
And your deflective answer is all the response I needed to realise you simply have no reasonable or rational response to reasonable questions put forward to you regarding GOD. So if God is all knowing, why would he need to ask questions he already knows the answers too?

Minister Farrakhan is funny but an absolute lunatic an absolutely brilliant man of God. His spirit and wisdom come from his godliness, whereas my thoughts are wicked and of the devil.
[I don't] listen to him while because my nature is evil, and I am spiritually blind, deaf and dumb.
